I am not sure how it feels in the USA but in Europe 2020 ended last year. 2023 has absolutely 0 covid feeling. People talk about it like they're nostalgic sometimes.
Literally almost all of my and my partner's friends and coworkers who are in Europe (including Germany, UK, Finland, Czechia, Greece, and more) have been sick with COVID in the past couple months to (especially) right now — it's very real in Europe still.
People are all talking about COVID right now, in messages, emails, video calls, Mastodon, and more. (It's usually to inform others that they're sick and can't work or meet up. But also complaining that doing basic stuff is difficult.)
Europe is a large place, of course, but at least in a lot of it, COVID is sadly still going strong.
I have it right now and it fucking sucks man. Like 90% of my workplace is home sick currently.
